Catch over partner

Group Size: 2 to 20 players
Difficulty: mittel
Material: Diabolos and handsticks, distance markers
Duration: approx. 5-15 minutes

Game Description¶

Partners face each other. One player throws the diabolo upward and catches it behind the partner, close enough that the movement feels almost like reaching around them. Successful pairs repeat from farther apart.

Variations¶

Use clear consent and enough space. Stop increasing distance when catches become unsafe.

Safety Notes¶

Keep the playing area clear and define the limits before the round starts. For contact games, target props rather than bodies. For throwing, riding, balancing or acrobatic games, leave enough space for failed attempts and stop the round if the group starts taking unsafe risks.
